SoundLink Plus Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Middleton 2 would be my pick as its soundstage is wider and 30 hours of battery is great. Bose sound link plus is the most portable of the three and has great sound as well. Both are good choices, I personally give the edge to Middleton 2.

The Bose SL Plus will likely be a solid fit for you as Bose has a pretty balanced sound, out of the box. Not sure if you’re looking for indoor v outdoor but you might look into getting two SL Flex and setting them up in stereo mode. They sound incredible.

Just got my pair of Soundlink Plus today, the Yellow colour is pretty wild, but fits the summer vibe in my part of the world. I ordered it with the Black one - funny how it looks smaller than the Yellow when hung off a hook on a black coat stand. Wow the sound is really good as a stereo pair, although I am using them in small room (about 10 square metres) with a tiled floor. I find the EQ surprisingly effective too, you can really dial down the bass and make a noticeable change to the mids and highs. They were quite expensive to buy, as I could have bought the Max for the same price, but I'm very happy with them and the smaller form factor is just perfect.

I bought a pair of SL Plus for stereo mode and with stock EQ they do sound rather boomy, but to my surprise the mids and highs didn't sound muffled which was the impression I got from listening to many reviews of the SL Max. I am using mine in a small room with not much soft furnishings so that doesn't help with the low end. I found the EQ pretty good though for taming the bass. The Charge 6 looks a very decent speaker for the price and is probably a better buy for most until Bose drop the price of the SL Plus.

Garbage is a ridiculous thing to say, sure they are not audiophile speakers for serious listening, but they sound great when the EQ is tuned. HEAD Acoustics have an MQDAS score for different aspects of audio quality and the SL Plus score 3.3 (considered high for a bluetooth speaker) vs 2.7 for JBL Charge 6.

You don't like the speaker, I get it! Yes, the app has a 3-band EQ and it makes a huge difference.

Speaking of flaws, my Soundlink Plus will not connect to the Bose app, I'm desperate to reduce the bass on the equalizer. No problem with the flex just the plus? The app doesnt even feature the Plus? Confused?

People love the charge 6 the most from this lineup - its damn loud for the size. Personally im swapping mine for a bose soundlink plus but thats a lil more expensive. The soundlink flex 2 is a good option for you too though

Check out the Bose Soundlink Plus, Amazon has them on sale for $199 right now. I've had mine for a few months now and love it, its a little heavy but the sound quality and battery like make up for it

Tied between the Bose Sounlink Plus and Brane X. The Brane just has some incredible power but the Bose sounds great and has been awesome to take out to games

The Bose for sure! I have the sound link plus and it's been awesome, it's a little bulky but about the same as the other two. Battery lasts forever and the sound quality is awesome! I'd avoid the Marshall, I gave up on them after I went through 4 Stockwell's all with charging/battery issues.

I like the soundlink plus over the others. My order would be: Bose, JBL, Marshall
